    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_at_the_White_House

    On June 20, 1979, 32 solar water heating panels were placed on the roof of the West Wing.The panels were made by InterTechnology/Solar Corp. from Warrenton, Virginia and installed by Hector Guevara of Alternate Energy Industries Corp. [2] At the dedication ceremony for the panels, President Carter said, "In the year 2000 this solar water heater behind me, which is being dedicated today, will ...

  3. Solar panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

    A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. The electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.

    1961 - "Solar Energy in the Developing World" conference is held by the United Nations. 1962 - The Telstar communications satellite is powered by solar cells. 1963 - Sharp Corporation produces a viable photovoltaic module of silicon solar cells. 1964 - The satellite Nimbus I is equipped with Sun-tracking solar panels.

  5. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    A heat pump might use 1 J for every 4 J it delivers giving a COP of 4. A system that only uses a 30 W fan to more-evenly distribute 10 kW of solar heat through an entire house would have a COP of 300. Passive solar building design is often a foundational element of a cost-effective zero energy building.

  6. Photovoltaic mounting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_mounting_system

    Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. [1] These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV). [2] As the relative costs of solar photovoltaic (PV ...

  7. Rooftop solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_solar_power

    A rooftop solar power system, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic (PV) system that has its electricity -generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or structure. [1] The various components of such a system include photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, cables, solar inverters battery storage ...
